Good tenants, paid before move-in. The rest we make easy.
List your furnished apartment once — verified corporate and expat tenants inquire, the lease arrives ready for signature, and first rent plus deposit land in your account before the keys change hands. A partner that has defined premium furnished living since 2012 — bootstrapped, founder-led, no VC.
Your FARAWAYHOME OS account is live in under a minute.
The model in one sentence: We bring verified international tenants — the lease is concluded directly between you and the tenant, first rent and deposit go straight to your account before move-in, and FARAWAYHOME never holds funds. Commission is success-based only, capped at twelve months per tenant.
Three provider profiles, three tailored models. Which are you?
Your model is shown below — everything from “Who rents via FARAWAYHOME?” onwards applies to all three profiles.
Verified tenants, without the marketing workload.
You let one or a few high-quality furnished apartments — and want reliable, verified tenants without the marketing workload.

Recommended minimum term: 3 months — you set the minimum term yourself in your account.
Professional photos noticeably increase the attention a listing gets, and a Matterport tour brings more committed inquiries and fewer unnecessary viewings. We introduce vetted local partners at preferred rates, with full usage rights on the photos: support@farawayhome.com
